​Celtic FC Women are thrilled to announce the signing of Casey Howe on a two-year contract ahead of the 2026/27 campaign. Casey arrives at the club after delivering strong performances across clubs in Ireland and England, showcasing a rising talent with the potential to make a lasting impact in the Scottish Women’s Premier League. The winger has built a solid reputation through a series of impressive spells with teams such as Glentoran, along with periods with Sligo Rovers and Athlone Town, highlighting her versatility and attacking threat from wide positions.
Casey’s career trajectory then took her to England, where she joined Nottingham Forest in 2024, competing in the WSL2. In the second half of the 2025/26 season, she was loaned to Wolves, where her contributions helped the club secure promotion to WSL2, underscoring her ability to influence important matches and deliver results under pressure. A Northern Ireland international since the age of 17, Howe has represented her country in senior competition, most recently featuring in World Cup qualifiers against Switzerland and Turkey, demonstrating her experience at the international level and her readiness to step up to new challenges.
Upon signing for Celtic FC Women, Casey expressed her excitement about joining a club with a storied history of success across both the men’s and women’s sides. “It’s amazing to be here, a club with such a rich history of winning trophies, both across the men’s and the women’s side. It’s amazing to be sat here. It’s in my DNA to win. I love winning. And I think off the back of the girls winning the cup, I want to come and win silverware here. That’s a given for me. I’ve won silverware back in Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland and in England. So I just want to win. I love winning. So it’s definitely something that excites me to come in, hopefully win some more silver here,” Howe said.
Her ambitions align with Celtic FC Women’s expectations as they prepare for a new season under Head Coach Grant Scott. Scott highlighted the excitement around Howe’s arrival, noting that she represents an exciting young talent who supporters will enjoy watching. “Casey is an exciting young player who our fans will enjoy watching. She has played internationally for Northern Ireland and in the WSL2 for two seasons, which showcases her experience at this early point in her career. We can’t wait to add her to the squad ahead of the new season,” Scott stated.
Casey Howe’s move to Celtic FC Women marks a significant step in her career as she seeks to add to her trophy cabinet and contribute to the club’s pursuit of silverware. Her established track record at youth and senior levels, combined with her international experience, positions her as a valuable addition to Celtic FC Women’s attacking options. Fans can anticipate a dynamic winger who can stretch teams, deliver quality crosses, and contribute goals and assists as Celtic push for domestic success and continued progress in European competition. The signing signals Celtic FC Women’s commitment to strengthening their squad depth and versatility for the 2026/27 campaign, aiming to contend for honours on multiple fronts and build a foundation for sustained success in the years ahead.
